Your Success Story Starts Here

UMA is nationally recognized as a military-friendly campus

If you’re a veteran, you’re not just welcome at UMA, you’re part of who we are. We’ve got your back.

Whenever You're Ready

Many UMA students enroll straight from high school. Others wait many years, even decades. The mix of ages creates a unique and exciting learning environment where everyone benefits. One student says, “UMA is like real life.”

UMA is especially known for its support of adult learners juggling work and family while trying college for the first time or coming back to finish their degree.

Wherever You Are

You don’t have to live near Augusta to pursue a UMA degree. With a second campus in Bangor, centers across Maine, and nine programs offered entirely online, UMA is the premier university in the state for online and distance learning.

US News & World Reports ranks UMA as one of the top universities in the nation for online offerings.

Whatever Your Finances

UMA’s value can’t be beat when you combine our high quality programs with the lowest tuition in Maine to attain your Bachelor’s degree.

Plus more than 85% of our students receive financial aid -- and that includes both full-time and part-time students. For many of our students, financial aid covers their entire tuition costs.
